First off, the oversight. Probably should have assumed he's the boss because he could take a decent lick and keep ticking. Then got a little too sympathetic, with Junior now approaching from the front, Machete at the rear in a pincer maneuver. But his current disappointment would become the lesson of the day: Finish your plate. When you go up against someone, make sure you've won before going to the next challenge. The two were getting close now, and trying to fight one and avoid the other's attack would require a psychic vision, so Quint would opt for the easier of the two targets in Junior.
Running up to meet the boy, Quint would fake a sidestep in order to force Junior's action, he trying to stab where he anticipated Quint to be, but soon found his ribcage full of knees, a series of three strikes to his chest, using an arm both for leverage and to keep the weapon at bay, having grabbed the kid by his wrists. Quint also kept their bodies moving forward, in an effort to keep Machete a safe distance away. His weapon would fall before he did, it clanging to the floor, Junior following soon afterwards.
From here he'd take a quick bound over to the far side of the room, keeping his eye on Machete behind him. Now back at the table, Quint wielded the shovel on its top again, ready to use it at least to parry the blade.
